We’re all just one wrong step, one sudden illness or one unlucky break away from the Emergency Room. It’s a place where dramatic stories of love, life and death unfold every day. With 70 cameras filming round the clock for 28 days, this series offers unprecedented access to one of Britain’s busiest Emergency departments, at King’s College Hospital in London. Each episode focuses on patients who were treated within the same 24-hour period. The series captures the joy and heartache faced by patients and their families, as well as the hard work and professionalism of the Emergency staff. From life-threatening traumas to embarrassing mishaps, 24 Hours in Emergency is an intimate, powerful and sometimes comic insight into life – and death – at the frontline of King’s College Hospital.
The new system at Kings seems to be working. It is very obvious to viewers that the nursing staff are being very well looked after, no one run of their feet, nurses sitting at computers day dreaming and staring into space. Doctor running to the phone(but beaten to the post by nurse) hyped up to accept the emergency coming in. Staff standing at the ready as patient is wheeled in. Brilliant.
I am a 2nd year nursing student here in Australia & I have to say that I hope by the time I have many years of experience under my belt, that I am just as good as a nurse as Jen (Head Sister)...you are fantastic at your job :)
Is there anywhere to buy the DVD of season 1?
